Quantitative Consulting Center Statistician/Data Scientist

Basic Function and Responsibility: Biola University seeks a Statistical / Data Science Consultant to support the University’s statistical consulting activities. This position combines hands-on statistical and data-science consulting with client development and project coordination in an educational setting.
